Best Martin Garrix Songs

Animals (The Track That Changed Everything)

2013. Seventeen years old. Animals was the moment Martin Garrix arrived fully formed. An unforgettable melody. A bassline that builds with absolute inevitability toward a drop that commands movement. Years later, the track's craftsmanship still impresses. Every element serves the song. Nothing is wasted. This is why Animals remains his signature track and one of dance music's defining moments.

Scared to Be Lonely (Dua Lipa, Emotional Depth)

This collaboration revealed a different Martin Garrix. Working with Dua Lipa, he balanced progressive house production with genuine vulnerability. The track pairs driving rhythms with introspective, emotional vocals. Crucially, Garrix didn't try to dominate or overpower. He built production that gave Dua Lipa space and made her vocals central. This is collaboration done correctly: both artists elevated by the partnership.

Ocean (Khalid, Future Bass Exploration)

Featuring R&B vocalist Khalid, Ocean showcases Garrix exploring future bass and more atmospheric production techniques. The track's fluid, textural approach paired with Khalid's smooth vocal performance created a genuine crossover moment. This wasn't electronic music imitating R&B. This was two genres recognising their common ground and building something new together.

In the Name of Love (Bebe Rexha, Progressive House)

Garrix's collaboration with Bebe Rexha demonstrates progressive house at its most accessible and memorable. The track combines catchy melodies, driving rhythms, and vocal performances that stick with you. These elements have become hallmarks of Garrix's most successful releases. Every component from production to melody to vocal delivery contributes to a cohesive whole.

Summer Days (Macklemore and Patrick Stump)

Uniting Garrix's electronic production, Macklemore's hip-hop credibility, and Patrick Stump's pop-rock sensibilities, Summer Days represents genre-blending done without artifice. The track works because all three artists genuinely respect each other's craft and bring authentic versions of their talents to the collaboration. It's a summer anthem that doesn't feel manufactured.

There for You (Troye Sivan, Intimate Electronic Pop)

A more intimate electronic pop collaboration pairing Garrix's production with Troye Sivan's contemporary pop sensibility. The track demonstrates Garrix's range beyond the big-room house energy of Animals. He could do introspection. He could do vulnerability. He could build records that centre singers rather than samples or drops. There for You proves all of this convincingly.
